Reply to "Did you grow up with a problem drinker?"

Here is the thing Yaku... just because someone stops "using" they aren't recovered. The term "dry drunk" comes from a former drinker, who isn't drinking, but never sought recovery from the behaviors that led to the drinking, or at least that is my understanding of it. I'm still (in my mind) new to recovery, only being involved with Al-anon for a few years. All I know is when I couldn't afford therapy, the $1 for each meeting I attended was WELL worth it, even though my parents don't drink, they drug instead. Al-anon meetings are pretty open, if you think you should be there, you are welcome to go. They really don't turn people away!
